Really?

Has it really been four months since my last Flotsam post? Good grief, this has got to change. We've certainly seen lots of post-worthy sights in our many travels but the frantic pace has gotten the better of us I guess.

Some geographical perspective...We live in Newfield which is five miles south of Ithaca. According to some folks Ithaca is 15 square miles surrounded by reality. I beg to differ... Here's a little slice of reality we pass on the way to one of our regular auction houses. The owner of the house used to run a dusty cluttered antique shop in the downstairs. Then almost over night it morphed into a bonafide Sandford and Son style junk yard complete with tug boat for sale out in the driveway on a big old rusty trailer. I see he's now trying out a new line of work these days...
